UNITED STATES PATEN THEODORE F. BREESE, OF MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT.

IMPROVEMENT IN LABELED WARDROBE-HOOKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [91,645, dated June 5, 1877; application filed November 22, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THEODORE F. BREESE, of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut,- have invented a new Improvement in Wardrobe-Hooks; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1, a perspective view, and in Fig. 2 a transverse section through the name-piece.

This invention relates to an improvement in the article commonly known to the trade as wardrobe-hooksthat is to say, hooks to be attached to the wall for the convenience of hanging clothing or other articles, designed with special reference to hooks where it is desirable to combine with the hook a name or numberas, for instance, school dressingrooms, where the name or number of the pupil is generally placed upon the wall over the hook, railroad baggage-checks, where the station of the check is usually indicated by a tag tied to the hook, or by a name placed upon the wall, and like purposes.

The object of this invention is to construct the hook with a convenient device for attaching such name or number and it consists in a hook provided with means for securing the same, and combined with a plate for receiving the name, number, or other indicating device.

A is the base or means for securing the hook, which may be of any of the known forms or constructions. From this hook proper B projects. This hook may be of any of the usual forms.

Above the hook, and, preferably, on an arm, C, a plate or head, D, is formed or attached. This head is constructed with grooves a, into which a slip may be placed, or easily removed. On these slips the name, number, or other indicating mark is made and inserted into the head, as seen in Fig. 1. This enables names or marks to be changed at pleasure.

I claim- The herein-described hook, consisting of the body or base, with the suspending-hook projecting therefrom, combined with a nameplate as a fixed part of the structure, substantially as described.

THEODORE F. BREESE.
